Gavin's Blessing Day

We blessed Gavin on December 7th. We did it a little late in order for Sean's grandparents to be there, although they ended up not being able to make it. He's not much of a smile-er, so it's sweet that we got some pictures of him smiling.

Cookie Monster

Brody loves cookies! It's one of the few words he can say. I also thought it was cute that he was trying to sit in the Bumbo seat I had gotten out for Gavin. Both Blake & Brody like it better than Gavin does right now (he is still a little young to be using it). This just captures the fact that Brody can be sweet and cute some times.

Jason's Graduation

My brother, Jason, graduated from WTAMU last Saturday with his Bachelor's degrees in Accounting and Finance. He's so excited to finally be done. Congratulations Jason!

Matching Sweaters

Aren't they cute in their matching Mickey Mouse sweaters?

Christmas Gifts 2008

These are the Christmas Gifts I made this year. The top one is a rag quilt for Sean's cousin's baby that is 3 weeks older than Gavin. Her husband and dad are big UT fans, so I thought it would be cute for them. The second picture is an embroidered monogrammed towel. I saw something similar at the Secret Place and decided I could make it myself. I thought it turned out pretty cute and only had one minor injury with my sewing machine. On the towel is a picture of a pocket calendar that I covered with my own scrapbook paper and added the initials, ribbon, and buckle to the outside. Thanks Stephanie for the idea! Both the towel and the calendar are gifts for Blake & Brody's teachers.

Christmas Baby

My mom bought this outfit when I was pregnant and before we knew what we were having. I just love it! He has enough Christmas outfits to wear one every day of the week. It's too bad the holiday is so close because they are all so cute. By the way, the 2nd picture is what Gavin is usually like during the day unless he's being held.

Words of Wisdom

We were on our way home from Amarillo tonight and were driving on the highway when Sean accidentally drove over the white line on the right and onto the part that makes noise and vibrates your car so you'll move back onto the road (I don't remember what it's called). Anyway, Blake yells from the back seat "Uh, oh. Someone ate too much!" I guess he thought that the vibration from the road was actually someone passing gas from inside the car. That would take some serious talent to pull that off! It was hilarious!
